Jonathan Huberdeau wasn't acknowledged at all during the #Flames home opener introductions. Not even with the group of players not dressed tonight. Very odd.
Zayne Parekh makes his season debut for the #Flames in this afternoon's home opener.
The #Flames opening night roster has been announced. Jonathan Huberdeau and Martin Pospisil start the season on the IR. In their place, Matvei Gridin and Sam Honzek will be in the lineup.

Two number changes - Matvei Gridin will wear 92 and
Zayne Parekh will wear 19.
After tonight's game, who do you feel should be Dustin Wolf's backup for the #Flames to start the season?
Pospisil and Huberdeau both hurt this game. The #Flames may have a few more forward roster spots to fill out of camp than expected.
It's cool that the #Flames and Canucks are hosting each other in their respective AHL arenas this pre-season.
The deal we were all waiting for is done! Dustin Wolf has signed a new 7 year deal with the #Flames. $7.5.million AAV.
If Carter Hart is found to be innocent, he could be an affordable option for the Oilers next season.
If you are one of the #Flames fans who didn't jump on the #Oilers bandwagon, sing along with us and be sure to sing this song to any of your Oilers fan friends.

We're recording our 2025 Draft Preview episode this evening. The Flames have picks 18 and 31 or 32. What position or type of player do you think the #Flames need to focus on in this draft?
#Flames fans, please remember our team can't just sign a player, the player has to want to sign the same contract. As neat as it could be to have Bennett back or Marner, you need to stop and ask why either guy would pick Calgary with where the team is with their rebuild.
It has been revealed that Dustin Wolf has been playing through back pain this season, which he suffered from carrying the entire #Flames team on his back all season.
The #Flames have recalled defenceman Hunter Brzustewicz and forward Sam Morton from the Wranglers. Looks like we may see a younger lineup against the Kings tomorrow.
Are you planning to watch #HarveysMountainClassic the first animated NHL game tomorrow?
Yes, tonight's #Flames game was tough to watch. Yes, they blew a lead against a team that they should've beat. But the comments on social media are confusing. The Flames weren't expected to be a good team, and have outperformed expectations. We shouldn't be surprised.
For the #Flames fans who hoped Dylan Couzens would be calling the Saddledome home for the rest of the season, you can take him off of your trade board. Couzens is off to Ottawa.
At one point this season it was assumed the #Flames would need to pay a team to take on Andrei Kuzmenko. But now he's been traded twice for value.

Kuzmenko has been traded by PHI to LA (with a 7th round pick) for a 2027 3rd round pick.
This is something fun we made for #Flames fans on the eve of the 2025 NHL Trade Deadline. Hopefully it put a smile on your face after a tough OT loss tonight.

Goaltender Connor Murphy has been signed to a two-way NHL contract for the remainder of the 2024-25 season. Does this signal a Dan Vladar deal is incoming for the #Flames?
We're back! The guys are recording a new episode this evening. Is there a #Flames topic you want them to cover, or question you want them to answer?
For the #Flames fans throwing around fantasy trades as we lead up to the trade deadline remember the contract clauses that players have.

Be sure to include in your fantasy proposal how you convince Kadri or Huberdeau to agree to go to Buffalo - for example.
A broken clock is right twice a day.
A dressed and healthy Kevin Rooney can score 4 goals a season.
If we have any US intellectual property lawyers in our audience, can you ELI5 how the trademark for the Utah Yeti was denied because of the cooler company when we have multiple unrelated companies that have the "Avalanche", "Kings" and "Lightning" wordmarks?
We expect recent #Flames callups Dryden Hunt (playing with Backlund and Coleman) and Ilya Solovyov (playing with Andersson) to be in the lineup tonight against the Kraken.

It's also expected that Frost and Farabee are on a line together with Sharangovich.
